Happy Halloween! To celebrate, while you’re enjoying the spooky fun, don’t let those real-life haunts in your home go unnoticed. Whether it’s the cobwebs creeping in the corners or the “monsters” hiding in your closet, there’s no better time than today to rid your space of clutter. Here's how...
1. Sweep Away Those Cobwebs
Today might be the one day where cobwebs are welcome, but do you really want those hanging around tomorrow?
2. Face the Closet Monsters
Got a Halloween party tonight or heading out with the kids to trick-or-treat? Before you get dressed in your best costume, take a quick peek inside your closet. If it feels like a
monster's den, now is the perfect time to pull out what you don’t need.
Toss old clothes or store away summer items. An organized closet makes it easy to change into comfy clothes after all the festivities.
3. Exorcise the Junk Drawer Demons
While you’re waiting for trick-or-treaters to ring the bell, why not tackle the junk drawer? It’s like a tiny haunted house of forgotten items, but you don’t need an exorcist to handle it.
Spend just a few minutes tossing out broken pens, outdated coupons, or random screws that have no home. Organize what’s left, and by the time the next group of kids arrives, your drawer will be neatly under control. 4. Vanquish the Entryway Creepers
As the sun sets, make sure your entryway is free of clutter. Shoes, bags, and jackets can create a haunted maze in your hallway. Set up hooks for jackets and clear the floor of shoes.
A quick tidy-up will help you stay organized while
you juggle the doorbell and candy bowl.
5. Beware of Paper Ghosts
Take a moment to clear away those paper piles haunting your kitchen counter. Whether it’s bills, old school papers, or grocery lists, this “ghostly” clutter can easily be
banished with a little sorting.
You’ll wake up tomorrow with a clear space (and clear head) for November.
So today, take a break from the spooks and goblins outside to confront the real haunts inside your home. You don’t need any special spells or potions—just a little time to tackle those
cobwebs, monsters, and ghosts lurking in the corners.
Engaging in some wicked good organizing today will ensure your home feels fresh and clutter-free when the spooky fun is over and November begins.
